Practical Ethics by Peter Singer - Third Edition
For thirty years, Peter Singer's Practical Ethics has been the classic introduction to applied ethics. This third edition has been revised and updated with a new chapter addressing climate change, one of the most important ethical challenges of our generation.
What This Book Covers
This textbook examines ethical questions that impact both daily life and society. Personal ethics questions include whether it's ethical to buy luxuries when others lack food, purchasing meat from intensively reared animals, and managing your carbon footprint above the global average.
As concerned citizens, readers confront larger issues: equality and discrimination based on race or sex, abortion, embryonic research, euthanasia, political violence and terrorism, and environmental preservation. Singer's lucid style and provocative arguments make complex philosophical concepts accessible.
